A Firefox & OSX question

I haven't had any luck turning up an answer on my own, and may as well confess to ignorance

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "browser bar menu", but here's a screenshot of Safari 3.0.3 and the Firefox 3 beta on my system (10.4):

I'll update with a screen shot.

Updating now.

Oh, and:

SafariBlock is AdBlock for Safari.
Creammonkey is Greasemonkey for Safari.

They might not work under Leopard.

[bruceb]

Am I being an idiot and overlooking an updated Creammonkey for download? The updated GreaseKit is just fine with Leopard, by the way.

[agrumer]

Same thing. They changed the name at some point, from Creammonkey to GreaseKit, and I'm just used to calling it by the older name.

[bruceb]

Gotcha. Thanks.

I hear that http://www.zotero.org/ is another good reason for using Firefox, but despite its utility I'm still mostly relying on my old-school, hierarchical bookmarks.

Ooh ooh! User CSS!

I think the standard OSX system font is Lucida Grande. I don't know what size is pictured in that Safari screen grab, though.

[bruceb]

Ah ha!

[zoatebix]

Does the Mac port use userChrome.css?

[zoatebix]

Never mind, yes it does! http://lifehacker.com/software/firefox/customize-firefox-with-userchromecss-197715.php

Make your very own userChrome.css in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/[profile-name]/chrome/

If you feel like messing a bit with your Firefox settings, you can change some things to make the size of the list as comparable as possible to your Safari's list. View --> Toolbars --> Customize will get you most of the way there. (Or, simply right click in the primary File/Edit/View/etc toolbar and go to Customize.) Font may be a trickier proposition, I'm afraid. I'm not sure which area controls that, and I've been satisfied with the way it is.
